    Despite the SH grip, felt the blade was too heavy ... not used to it after ~6 months of continuous use of the smaller and lighter hinoki CPen. It was a total jedi mind trick to try out SH for fun! Ah, very interesting! Thank you suds! LOLOLOL - I may convert to SH at some point, but only...

    Last Thurs, I hit for 2.5 hrs with ~30 mins as pure SH with the prize from NextLevel's Christmas Giveaway Contest. ~28 mins raw video of me playing with a SH blade - my first time playing SH for such an extended time period! Despite the SH grip i felt some discomfort when hitting FH. Perhaps...

    NL beat me to it, video is not of THE CHIEF. I mentioned Chief cos he is one of 3 players in their 80's still actively playing TT at Lost Battalion! The Chief, the chopper, and Tomas N. are in their 80's and amazing and inspirational!

    The 80 or 81 yr old chopper at my club ... last year he had hip surgery or knee/double knee surgery. Out for the year. I remember him from the 1980's Chinatown TT club in an old firehouse. He used to chop down all the club's good players (Steven Mok, Fu-lap Lee, Ray Domingo, Alex Tam, etc) ...

    Went to the new club last night. 1 friend was there earlier than me and had a private lesson with our coach friend. I hit with a gentleman who only blocked. So i wanted to work my close to the table loop but not making them. Not used to the new club yet. Lighting is very bright but the colors...

    Received the Christmas Contest prize from NextLevel yesterday. Keen on trying out the shakehold blade, went to the club. My regular hitting partner showed up late. Didn't get to try out the SH paddle. Hit with a member that I have not played in quite a long time. Mainly been practicing and not...

    A lot of work to do, you still seem to do well with 1 win despite the circumstances! Congrats on what sounds like a successful tournament as well as the win! Keep doing the do!
  10. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Thank you for sharing your videos Sir. I'm not the best to give advice on FH loop and RPB as I'm relearning the modern FH loop compared to my dinosaur stroke as well as slowly learning the RPB on my own. Hope the others will chime in. Thank you!

    I am not the best judge at guesstimating rating, from what I see, he is way better than me I don't even know a guesstimate of a rating for my level

    I go to a rec center in queens (https://www.nycgovparks.org/facilities/recreationcenters/Q401), it's 3 subway stations from home, no matter how tired i am from TT, 98% of the time i walk home. Takes ~25 mins. Extra exercise for body as well as willpower lol ------------ 1. The new club is out...

    Last night... Despite not really in my family budget and not wanting to be selfish, i joined a new TT club for 3 months last night due to a special they ran (while still a member of my current club). Instead of paying $10 for a visit, the special was $30 a month, but it had to be 3 months...

    Sir, Watched this in full after TT last night. You seemed off in this match. He is a PH that backs away from the table and sometimes chops! Interesting for me as a PH to watch this. I do some similar things on serve receive which he does. Thank you.

    Watched this last night fully after i got home from TT. He is the same old MB! Although he was way more restrained at that club and/or that night. At my club, there's so much noise with the Olympic lifters dropping their weights, etc. MB is less restrained. Again, not looking to beat him in a...

    LOLOL No worries, you have no idea how many times in chatting with 42andbackpains that he chastises me on the dinosaur stuff i still do!

    ~2:10-2:15 are representative of my rallies vs him... that is if it goes past the 3rd ball.. however, I don't make the shots most of the times when it gets to the 5th-7th ... i cannot let him control the ball. Digression: Interesting to note the lefty PH on the table to your right is flat...
